one large hula hoop, twice

this morning i went to work the same old way-- bus to subway. while waiting at the subway station, i ran into anna, and together we observed a woman carrying a 5' diameter hot pink, green, and black sparkly hula hoop. she boarded the subway with us and got off at the same stop as well.

(fast forward... later that same day)

i had to stay late at work, and by the time i left, i was a little out of it... i boarded the 10PM bus, engrossed in my book. a few stops into the bus i looked up and who do i see but that same woman with the same hula hoop. seriously.

a few questions come to mind:

1. how did this woman and i manage to operate on exactly the same schedule?
2. a hula hoop? really? what was she doing?

this is toooooo weird. just tonight i had a fairly long conversation about hula hooping with my friend elisha. apparently a hulahoopster (hulahipster?) crew can be spotted in harvard sq every wed...

what is this sparkly world coming to?

seriously! who would have thought there'd be a hula hoop revolution?

Maybe she carries a hulahoop around with her because she used to be 5' diameter herself and could never actually hula the hoop - it would always get stuck. Now that she dropped some lbs, she carries it with her to remind herself about self control.

or maybe she just likes to hulahoop :)

OMG, I can't tell you how many large sparkly hulahoops there are out here. In fact my neighbor owns one!!!
